Is there one? Maybe we need one, bring some colour and passion to International RL. The Crusade sounds about right! Sell special tickets to a section of each ground which includes tshirt, wig, flag etc. Works well in Oz RL for SOO and Kangaroos. Too late for this tournament but something to build ready for the RLWC down under?

Roo Crew:

I'd be up for it.

nar

2 more like you and the RFL would go for it

Don't the roo crew and the fanatics just copy the Barmey army ?

I'd also be interested.

Sounds interesting...

Me and my mates would definitely be interested in this. Even if was just as simple as nominating a block in one part of the stadium for like minded fans to sit together and generate some decent atmosphere.

Exactly, get a block at stadia where England fans can sit together, make a bit of noise and show our colours.

Maybe even might help with things like travel to games etc.

If anyone's actually serious about this DM me and we can have a chat.

We sooo need to make this happen! Def interested in helping organise for any tournaments down under.

Jonny def keen to help out from this side of the world, can help with online stuff and when England play down under.

Ok everyone we have a Facebook page! Please like and feel free to post photos from games and ideas for the group etc. Meet up spots, which bays to book at grounds, pubs to meet pre kick off etc etc.

I'm in. Jonny i'll mail you

Bump.

Been to both England games so far but the atmosphere has been a bit flat. There's people trying to start chants but they're all dotted around the ground. Would definitely help if we were all in the same area/block.

I'm going to the game in Hull tomorrow, if anybody wants to meet me and discuss getting some sort of group formed, please let me know.

Sadly can't make the game tomorrow or I would be up with trying to get some atmosphere going, gutted

Getting the train up tomorrow, the atmosphere was great when we played there two years ago. Hopefully a good game and a bit of biff will really get the crowd going. Plan to have breakfast and a few drinks in town before heading up Anlaby Road to the Albert and Parkers. Can't wait!

not in Hull, but *fingers crossed* will be at the semi against New Zealand.

Definitely up for this.

Just watching the 92 final at wembley, and the crowd sound really loud, reminded me of this thread. Is anyone still up for this? You never know it could make the difference...

Where is everyone going for a drink beforehand? Could be a good way to get the ball rolling.

Sounds like a good idea! Usually go the greyhound or the torch pre match, both have fairly decent areas outside to congregate

I've only seen this since 'the bump'.

I'm up for this too. It's a cracking idea and if we get a proper international calendar with international windows, it could take off.

Atmosphere at England games have been awful. The crowd lack some sort of identity and affiliation with the England players. Something like this could help.

A twitter page would be great. Twitter is a great way to spread the message and keep people updated regularly. Could ask the England RL to make it an official supporters group to give it some status.

If you need any help with a twitter set up, let me know!

tacky and cheesy

If it wasn't on Facebook I would be in. I hate Facebook.

The principle is bang on though.

How about the RFL adopt it and offer a nominal membership fee of £10 per year for members to get exclusive videos, priority on tickets for the "Crusade" block at whatever ground England play at and 10% off in the online store?
